Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required input power supply voltage?

The system requires a DC24V±10% (including ripple) power supply.

How do I install the lighting controller on a DIN rail?

Hook it onto the DIN rail, then push the controller until you hear a click sound. Be careful when removing it.

What is the connection for a manual trigger input (CH1)?

Use the PIN No. 13 terminal labeled TRIG1 for the CH1 Trigger Input.

What are the recommended wire fastening values?

The screw fasten torque for the lighting controller terminal block is specified as 0.22 – 0.25Nm.
